Well I finally made my first two sales off the Internet for my handcrafted jewelry.  One of the sales was for a $25.00 handcrafted necklace and this particular piece went all the way to Texas.  Being from Canada myself, I got a real charge out of that.  The other order was from a friend of mine (thanks Tammy) so I could actually hand deliver this one.  Now that I have these first two sales under my belt, my motivation has returned big time to start advertising my business even more.  If I can get two sales in one day, then I’m sure I can get more.  So for the next little while I’m going to completely focus all my crafting endeavors on making jewelry and posting the pictures on my crafting blog.

I got a phone call today from the kids school.  The school wants to sponsor both kids for an art day camp that our town is  hosting this summer.  Out of the eight weeks of summer they can pick four weeks of camp to go to.  Each week is a different theme and a different concentration on the arts.  They have the opportunity to learn painting techniques, sculpting, improve, drawing and so much more.  The tuition for this camp is $40 a week for each kid, but the school has agreed to pay for it.

The kids were begging me and their father to let them go.  We have decided that we will since the only thing that this will cost us will be a little bit of gas money.  I think this will be great for them as they both enjoy crafts so much and this will get them out of a hot trailer during the summer.  I just love the kid’s school for giving them yet another wonderful opportunity to be involved with.
